The CEBEL RIFLE
Descriptive Account Of the New Arm OF the
French Army.

68cRfpt4ve A0cOoDt % the SeS Arnn % tE>
French Army.
The Lebel rifle, as the new arm i:
called. was invented by Lieutenant
Colonel Lebel. principal Of the artillery
school at Chalons. Its remarkable
qualities are lightness, long range and
extraordinary penetrating power. Ac-
cording to the scientific researches oil
the mathematician, Prof. HELLER, i,
was supposed that the absolutely per-
feet army rifle should be weapon
with caliber Of precisely seven mill.
meters. The Lebel rifle has not 50
small caliber. but offers the nearest
approach to it yet made-viz.: Eight
millimeters. With this caliber the adj
vantsges are: q lighter cartridge; q
greater penetrating power, and o much
less liability of the missile to be devi-
sted from its course by strong wind.
The ball is so covered with steel and
brass, as to enable it to preserve its
form and to follow precisely the
grooves of the barrel. Its initial We
locity is exactly 100 meters per second
greater than that of the Gras rifle,
which had an initial velocity of $50
meters, while the Lebel boasts q We
locity of $40 meters. 1t revolves upon
itself 5000 times per second-slwsys
travelling point first. At distance OF
1900 meters its fire is as fatal as within
q lesser distance; and as the line of the
projectile is almost perfectly straight,
extraordinary hits can be made
at immense ranges. To obviate the
shock of recoil consequent upon so
prodigious an expelling force, special
powder has been invented by Colonel
Brugere, which detonates progressively
without smoke and with comparatively
little noise. The shooter feels tho
weapon push-does not feel 3 sudden
and painful jar. Three wooden shields
placed at about twenty-five yards apart
were easily pierced in straight line by
one rifleshot-the ball travelling on five
hundred meters further without chang
ing its course to strike the outlying
target aimed at precisely in the center.
The movable breech piece is shorter
than in the Gras rife, but offers 8
greater resistance and the recoil fol-
lows the axis of the weapon.
On finding themselves in possession
of so extraordinary an arm, it was for
some time question with the military
authorities whether or not to adopt it
in its simplest form, as the best of
single-shot breech leaders. But as
Austria is adopting the Msnnlicher re-
peater, Italy the Vital repeater. Ger

magazine guns-Engl:sh Paper.

HOW Condition Resemb bling Sleep May Be
Produced In 9 Patient.
Hypnotism is derived from the Greek
word hypnos-sleep. An English med
ical practitioner coined the word, we
believe. He wanted something to ex-
press condition resembling sleep, but
which was simply phenomena of the
nervous system.
In explaining his method this doctor
said: "For instance, take silver Ian
Get case, or other bright object, and
hold it between the fingers of the left
hand, about foot from the eyes of the
person experimental on, in such posi-
ton above the forehead as to produce
the greatest strain on the eyes compat-

from the object to the eyes, the eyelids
will most probably close with vibrat-
DRY motion. After ten or fifteen min
utes have elapsed. it will be found that
the patient retains his arms and legs in
any position in which the operator
places them. It will also be found that
the special senses, excepting sight, are
at first extremely exalted, as also are
the muscular sense and the sensibility
of heat and cold; but after a time the
exaltation of function is followed by 8
state of depression far greater than
the torpor of natural sleep. The pa
tent is now thoroughly hypnotized.
The rigidity of the muscles and
the profound torpor of the
nervous system may be instantly re.
moved and an opposite condition in
duced by directing current of air
against the muscles which we wish to
render timber, or the organ which we
wish to excite to action, and then by
mere repose the senses will speedily
gain their original condition. II a
